“We have to sit down and discuss all the reforms we want to modernize Argentina, and head towards a system with elections every four years,” Macri said in an interview with Radio Mitre.

In his opinion, the reform would allow elected officials to “focus on people's issues” instead of preparing for electoral campaigns every two years as they do with the current system.

However, with just a few weeks to go before the primary elections for Congress, Macri said “It seems to me that such a system would be much healthier, but it would clearly require a constitutional reform".

The country's political parties will choose their candidates in the primary elections on August 13 and the legislative elections will take place on October 22.

As the electoral campaign gets underway, Macri has announced plans to lower taxes and promised that the inflation rate will soon fall.
